The Grange, Manse Brae, Rothes

The Grange is a 2-storey, irregular 3-bay gabled house located on Manse Brae in Rothes, designed by John Smith of Aberdeen and built in 1839 by William Robertson of Elgin. The building features a mix of granite rubble with tooled sandstone ashlar dressings. The south front has three bays, with a projecting gabled bay at the southwest and a single-storey square porch that masks the entrance in the re-entrant angle. The porch has a round-headed doorway and a stepped parapet. The southwest angle at ground floor height is deeply chamfered and faced with tooled ashlar sandstone. There is another entrance on the west garden front and a rear service entrance. The first-floor windows just break the wallhead under the gables and have 4- and 12-pane glazing. The house has coped end and ridge stacks and is topped with slate roofs.

To the rear, there is a steading/stable range that has been somewhat modified, with blocked doorways and a garage entrance added to the east-facing gable.

Inside, the interior is simple, featuring a plain white marble chimneypiece in the drawing room and plain balusters on the staircase.

The property is also enclosed by coped rubble walls to the west and south.
